Civil Engineering Technology - A.A.S.

The Civil Engineering Technology program provides a number of opportunities for students to get real-world experience while completing an associate's degree. Students can take advantage of numerous field trips and special projects to gain knowledge and training. Many students participate on The SUNY Canton American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Steel Bridge Team (pictured below).

A wide array of employment opportunities
in construction, design, materials and related industries awaits you. In addition
to a variety of career opportunities, graduates also have options for pursuing
a baccalaureate degree at SUNY Canton or elsewhere in Facilities Operations
or Industrial Technology Management. Hands-on experience is extensive and those
who have completed the program compete very successfully in industry.

Students in this Major:

Are prepared to meet the challenge of a career in the civil engineering field and construction industries.

Admission Requirements:

Students who do not meet the recommended high school math prerequisites may still be admitted to the College, but completing the program may require more than two years.
